Around here the worst offenders are moms in small SUVs. I swear they just stare straight ahead and accelerate until they're 5 feet from the car in front of them.

He's going over the speed limit on a two lane road - he's fine.

It's not like he's driving a tractor down the road at 20 mph or something.

letting someone pass you doesn't really cost you any time, and maybe the other guy has a real good reason for going fast

Yeah very often there's not a safe or conducive opportunity to let someone pass.

But what are the circumstances? I stay in the left lane. So if some dipshit wants to ride my ass and pass me, they have all the opportunity to do so by passing on the left like their supposed to. So what are we taking about here?

Whether you're walking or running or driving, assuming everyone is obeying the rules, the onus is on the people going the fastest.
